Golden Egg

You guessed right! I made another Easter card...featuring an egg. Golden is just wishful thinking on my part!

How's it going, my friends? Good start to the week? We are having freezing rain and gale force winds now... the perfect start to March. I wouldn't have it any other way, would you?!

Now, on to the card for my much loved Mojo Monday. I'm curiously leaning towards CAS (my way!)...don't know why, but I suspect the weather may have something to do with it. Take a look and tell me what you think!

I'm using 2 scraps of patterned papers - the larger piece is from Crate Paper's Toy Box 6x6 pad and the smaller piece is from We R Memory Keepers Travel Light 6x6 pad. I'm on the mission to clear out the old papers to justify buying more! For the background, I used a tiny floral stamp from Chocolate Baroque's Easter Traditions together with Memento Cantaloupe.

I hoisted the egg onto the Spellbinder's Lacey Oval die-cut. It was supposed to frame the egg but the aperture was too small. So I foam-taped my egg over the ex-frame. Totally intentional. There's no such thing as a mistake! The greeting, stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black is from CB's Butterfly Easter set.

Here's a close-up of the egg. Not quite a golden egg, but close! It's from CB's Butterfly Easter set , stamped with Memento Cantaloupe, which gave a better contrast than Memento Dandelion. I adhered pearls in the centre of each flower. To finish, some Doodlebug twine in black and yellow.

Here's the inside. I did some stamping with the same tiny floral stamp... with Memento Cantaloupe.I bet your beady little eyes zoomed in straight to the bottom left where I missed a couple of stitches. And yes, that was totally intentional too!
